Access port centralized management
First Claim
1. A computer readable medium containing instructions that when executed by a computer perform a computerized method for managing SIP-aware applications on a wireless network using an Access Port management appliance associated with an Ethernet switch comprising:
- (a) identifying at least one SIP-aware Access Port in the wireless network to receive an SIP message;
(b) identifying an SIP-aware application associated with the at least one SIP-aware Access Port; and
(c) determining a route for Real-time Transport Protocol streams based the SIP-aware application associated with on the identified at least one SIP-aware Access Port.

Abstract
The present invention provides a system, method and apparatus for managing a wireless network in conjunction with an Ethernet switch comprising at least one SIP-aware application, an SIP-aware Access Port, and an SIP-aware management device for managing wireless network signals by providing out-of-band SIP signals to the SIP-aware Access Port. The device may comprise a program for load balancing SIP-aware applications and/or a port for monitoring all traffic across all ports. The invention provides for detection of rogue access ports, for the monitoring of RF link quality, Access Port availability and metrics for Quality of Service.
